First, I’m glad Kramer won, even though I voted early for Brooks, before the buzz about his property taxes made me realize how thin his resume was for the job.

That said, I don’t agree with the comments about the Times’ “slanted coverage.” I applaud the excellent investigative reporting the Times has done on Gus and his antics. Just what was it about their reporting on Gus that wasn’t accurate and newsworthy? I also don’t agree that we should somehow be grateful that Gus lowered taxes for 150,000 homeowners. He had no choice under the law. But his office has, indeed, handled that responsibility in a very competent manner. He’s no Boy Scout, but apparently he knows his job. That’s why I’m glad he beat out the underqualified competition.

Oh give it up Ross…I mean “Bill P.” How can you say Kramer is useless? The public disagrees! You can yap about REB being a credible candidate all you want but Kramer advocated for the individual taxpayers by lowering taxes for over 150,000 homeowners. He is always there for the taxpayers and they were there for him today.

The Times should also take notice and tuck their personal agenda away and stop swiping at Kramer every chance they get. Their slanted coverage is getting old and it’s become quite predictable. Besides, they might reel in a few more readers if they weren’t so blatantly biased in their reporting.

Regardless, I hope that today is the last election at which Gus Kramer’s name appears on the ballot. Mr. Kramer is a “model” politician — of what not to be — corrupt and useless. But both Nejedly and Brooks also are troubled candidates for County Assessor — they don’t pay their own property taxes but want to be the public official who indirectly sets the property tax bills of others. By default, Ross Erin Butler was the only credible candidate for Assessor. This is a very sad situation for a county of 1 million population!
